What is Man I Just Wanna Go Home?
This visual novel follows a delivery worker caught in another district during torrential rain.
Their phone has no power, they carry only a few coins, lack any way to travel, and have no clear plan. Rumors say a killer is roaming nearby, but the immediate objective is to reach home. Decisions alter the narrative and can produce 13 distinct endings. The presentation combines artwork reminiscent of MS Paint with an 80s-inspired synth score.
